    I know I shouldn’t be holding back but I’m terrified they will want to go back in. I’m going to ask a few local friends where they went for their surgery & hope it’s not my hospital. I don’t know what else to do. I don’t want to go back to that hospital ever again. (I had an issue a few months earlier where they took an ovary out thinking it was my appendix). I need to be more proactive. I’m thinking of contacting my dietician first. Maybe I should contact my insurance co too? Very stressful.

    Oh my. I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this Heather. I had Sleeve surgery almost 4 weeks ago. I had a horrible experience. I ended up in the hospital for 8 days, was in ICU, had a 2nd surgery 2 days later, needed multiple blood transfusions and had a drain in me. I'm not sure if it was worth it or not yet. If it wasn't for one very wonderful nurse I don't think I'd be here right now. They didn't even tell my husband what was happening or that I had to go in for a 2nd surgery. The last i texted him was that they were getting ready to give me a blood transfusion. After that it was a blur, and I had no access to my phone. He had no idea what was happening until I'd been out of the 2nd surgery and was in ICU. (and because in a rare moment of clarity I asked if anyone had contacted my husband) I was terrified and alone. I could hear the nurses the first night saying how terrible I looked and they kept taking my blood pressure which was down to 76/54. I still have pain when I swallow and my surgeon said there was a small hiatal hernia he found in the 2nd surgery. I'm too terrified to complain about anything to my surgeon because I never want to be opened back up again. I definitely don't want to go back to the same hospital, not sure I want the same surgeon either. So while I'm getting better, more slowly than most others who have the sleeve done, I'm still terrified of ever going back again. Can I ask if you've gone back to the same surgeon for the subsequent surgeries??

    Bad acne after VSG

    I'm almost one month out and my complexion is awful!!!!!! At first I thought it was an allergic reaction to something, maybe all the whey protein isolate or something. Then I blamed a new pillow. Now I'm thinking it is VSG related.
